“What’s
in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just
as sweet.” These immortal lines penned by Shakespeare
in his Romeo and Juliet apparently have all the relevance
in the world even today because human beings still
have not given up, quibbling over names. Recently,
Tamil cinema has been rocked by all the fuss being
made over titles. Vijay’s title issues for Thuppakki
are yet to be resolved as the tedious process of litigation
is in progress. Vishal’s Samar finds itself
in the same boat and suddenly slugging it out over
titles has become the hottest trend.

Getting into the spirit of things, let us take a look
not at troubled titles but lyrical ones instead, and
the fun trend of naming films after super hit songs.

Only films that have been launched or released in
2012 have been considered for this slideshow.
